Your Support

As you may already know, the Nutcracker ballet is produced and performed by Alameda Civic Ballet (ACB). ACB is a non-profit performing company and is financially separate from Alameda Ballet Academy (ABA), which is a for-profit school. The tuition paid to ABA for ballet classes do not support the Nutcracker or other ACB productions. ACB’s productions are solely funded by ticket sales, performance fees, and generous donations.

While ACB’s Nutcracker ballet is much less extravagant than San Francisco Ballet’s or Smuin Ballet’s holiday productions, producing our show is still challenging and expensive. Ticket sales and performance fees do not cover all the costs. The generosity and support of individual, corporate, and foundation donors help us bridge the gap.

We are asking you to support performing arts in Alameda by making a tax-deductible gift to Alameda Civic Ballet. We are grateful for gifts of any size, however please take a look at specific levels of giving listed below. Thank you!
